Amid indication by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the government will consider suggestions from the Opposition on the Land Bill, the Joint Parliamentary Panel inspecting the Land Bill has got another extension. The committee which was originally scheduled to submit its report on the first day of the Monsoon session of the parliament had got an extension by a week. Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said that there is a fresh request to grant some more time and now, the report is expected to be submitted in the first week of August.
Lok Sabha Speaker further stated that she had received a letter from panel Chairman SS Ahluwalia of the BJP seeking another extension till the first week of August as the members wanted to seek certain clarifications from the government on the amendments brought to the 2013 law.
Earlier, Prime Minister had said that “It is time that we move forward on the Land Bill issue, incorporating suggestions from all sides. We should move positively on this issue.” He also said that “We need to see what the Joint Parliamentary Committee report says. If there is a consensus in the Committee, it is good for national interest as well as farmers. If the Committee makes a lot of suggestions and recommendations, we may have to bring in a new Bill.”
The proposed Land Bill, which will be replacing the ‘Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 is facing serious resentment from the opposition parties. The government has promulgated the Land ordinance thrice and if it is unable to manage to get the Bill passed in the monsoon session, the ordinance will lapse on September 1.
